ONE WORLD RELIGION WATCH: Holy Land Festival unites Muslims, Christians for peace

ONE WORLD RELIGION WATCH: Holy Land Festival unites Muslims, Christians for peace

The
fourth annual Holy Land Festival was held July 15 in Washington. The
festival cultivates a conversation of hope around the Holy Land, with
many groups coming together to engage visitors with the situation of
Christians and of peace in the Holy Land.

Along the western banks of the Jordan River, the place of Christ’s
baptism and today known as Qasr al-Yahud, numerous churches and
monasteries of different religions sit vacant and silenced due to the
dangerous landmines that lie beneath them.

For almost 50 years, Qasr al-Yahud has been empty due to the
landmines installed during the 1967 Six Day war between the Arabs and
the Israeli people.
Halo Trust, a nonprofit organization, has worked to remove the
landmines in the Qasr al-Yahud area since 2012. The group is dedicated
to providing save environments for those living in areas surrounded by
landmines through landmine removal, as well as assisting in local
community rebuilding in the aftermath of war.
Their work has brought together various religious denominations in
efforts to preserve the sacred churches, such as the Coptic church, the
Franciscan church and the Syrian church, that all sit on the site of
Qasr al-Yahud.
“We’ve got agreements with the eight churches, we’ve got agreements
with the Israeli government, and we’ve got agreements with the
Palestinian authorities,” said Adam Jasinski, executive director of Halo
Trust, in an interview with Catholic News Service July 15.
Jasinski spoke about the Jordan River landmine removal in a seminar
at the Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land in America as part of its
fourth annual Holy Land Festival held July 15.
The festival cultivates a conversation of hope around the Holy Land,
with many groups coming together to engage visitors with the situation
of Christians and of peace in the Holy Land.
Father Jim Gardiner, a Franciscan Friar of the Atonement as well as a
member of the Holy Land Committee of the Archdiocese of Washington,
spoke to CNS about how the festival brought together so many different groups of people.“Nobody knows who is Christian, Muslim or Catholic,” Gardiner said.The interdenominational environment at the festival was a mere taste
of what takes place at Bethlehem University, the first Catholic
university in the Holy Land. Two Bethlehem University students, Lela Abu
Ayyash and Lara Kasbari, spoke about their experiences living and going
to school in Palestine during the Holy Land festival in a seminar.
Bethlehem University contributes to a peaceful conversation among its
3,200 students, 77 percent of whom are Muslim and 23 percent Christian.
“The atmosphere that the university provides is very welcoming,” said
Kasbari, a senior business administration student at Bethlehem
University who is interning with the Christian Brothers Conference this
summer.
“There are students coming from villages or towns that don’t have
Christians in them, when they come to Bethlehem University, (it) might
be the first time that they actually meet a Christian, and they are
surprised. … Bethlehem University really opens up that chance for
Muslims to meet Christians and a chance for dialogue, for interreligious
dialogue,” she said.
Kasbari also mentioned how Bethlehem University further promotes this
dialogue through mandatory courses where Muslims can learn more about
Christianity and Christians can learn more about Islam, providing
peaceful “tolerance.”
The university also hosts several prayer hours throughout the week
where Christians can go to a church and Muslims can go to a mosque, all
to engage in prayer at the same time.
The festival engaged visitors in an authentic atmosphere as the
smells of Middle Eastern food lingered on the sunny Saturday afternoon
and the traditional music and dancing took place in the center of the
square. Visitors also went inside to tour the monastery’s church and
catacombs which hold many replicas of Holy Land sites.“This is a celebration of culture,” Gardiner said. “Religion and
faith are the basis of culture, and what better place to have this
festival than at the monastery.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“This Second Vatican Council Reform, since it has issued from Liberalism and from Modernism, is entirely corrupt; it comes from heresy and results in heresy, even if all its acts are not formally heretical. It is thus impossible for any faithful Catholic who is aware of these things to adopt this Reform, or to submit to it in any way at all. To ensure our salvation, the only attitude of fidelity to the Church and to Catholic doctrine, is a categorical refusal to accept the Reform.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

“And we have the precise conviction that this new rite of Mass expresses a new faith, a faith which is not ours, a faith which is not the Catholic Faith. This New Mass is a symbol, is an expression, is an image of a new faith, of a Modernist faith. ….Now it is evident that the new rite, if I may say so, supposes another conception of the Catholic religion-another religion.”

Archbishop Lefebvre

That Conciliar Church is a schismatic Church, because it breaks with the Catholic Church that has always been. It has its new dogmas, its new priesthood, its new institutions, its new worship, all already condemned by the Church in many a document, official and definitive.... The Church that affirms such errors is at once schismatic and heretical. This Conciliar Church is, therefore, not Catholic. To whatever extent Pope, Bishops, priests, or faithful adhere to this new Church, they separate themselves from the Catholic Church...

Vatican II = Heretical & Schismatic

Exposing Vatican II & New Mass, Fr. Villa

Archbishop Lefebvre

“Well, we are not of this religion. We do not accept this new religion. We are of the religion of all time; we are of the Catholic religion. We are not of this 'universal religion' as they call it today-this is not the Catholic religion any more. We are not of this Liberal, Modernist religion which has its own worship, its own priests, its own faith, its own catechisms, its own Bible, the 'ecumenical Bible'-these things we do not accept."

The Real 3rd Secret of Fatima

Inlcudes Vatican II and the soon Apostate Church..."...because Fatima is a very apocalyptic message. It says that no matter what happens there are going to be terrible wars, there are going to be diseases, whole nations are going to be wiped out, there are going to be 3 days darkness, there are going to be epidemics that will wipe out whole nations overnight, parts of the earth will be washed away at sea and violent tornadoes and storms. It's not a nice message at all." Fr Malachi Martin

Pope XII: “Suicide Of Altering the Faith In Her Liturgy…..”

"I am worried by the Blessed Virgin's messages to Lucy of Fatima. This persistence of Mary about the dangers which menace the Church is a divine warning against the suicide of altering the Faith, in Her liturgy, Her theology and Her soul. … I hear all around me innovators who wish to dismantle the Sacred Chapel, destroy the universal flame of the Church, reject Her ornaments and make Her feel remorse for Her historical past."A day will come when the civilized world will deny its God, when the Church will doubt as Peter doubted. She will be tempted to believe that man has become God. In our churches, Christians will search in vain for the red lamp where God awaits them. Like Mary Magdalene, weeping before the empty tomb, they will ask, 'Where have they taken Him?'"

St. Bernard:

Go forth confidently then, you knights, and repel the foes of the cross of Christ with a stalwart heart. Know that neither death nor life can separate you from the love of God which is in Jesus Christ, and in every peril repeat, "Whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's." What a glory to return in victory from such a battle! How blessed to die there as a martyr! Rejoice, brave athlete, if you live and conquer in the Lord; but glory and exult even more if you die and join your Lord. Life indeed is a fruitful thing and victory is glorious, but a holy death is more important than either. If they are blessed who die in the Lord, how much more are they who die for the Lord!

How secure, I say, is life when death is anticipated without fear; or rather when it is desired with feeling and embraced with reverence! How holy and secure this knighthood and how entirely free of the double risk run by those men who fight not for Christ! Whenever you go forth, O worldly warrior, you must fear lest the bodily death of your foe should mean your own spiritual death, or lest perhaps your body and soul together should be slain by him.

Indeed, danger or victory for a Christian depends on the dispositions of his heart and not on the fortunes of war. If he fights for a good reason, the issue of his fight can never be evil; and likewise the results can never be considered good if the reason were evil and the intentions perverse. If you happen to be killed while you are seeking only to kill another, you die a murderer. If you succeed, and by your will to overcome and to conquer you perchance kill a man, you live a murderer. Now it will not do to be a murderer, living or dead, victorious or vanquished. What an unhappy victory--to have conquered a man while yielding to vice, and to indulge in an empty glory at his fall when wrath and pride have gotten the better of you!

But what of those who kill neither in the heat of revenge nor in the swelling of pride, but simply in order to save themselves? Even this sort of victory I would not call good, since bodily death is really a lesser evil than spiritual death. The soul need not die when the body does. No, it is the soul which sins that shall die.

The knight of Christ, I say, may strike with confidence and die yet more confidently, for he serves Christ when he strikes, and serves himself when he falls. Neither does he bear the sword in vain, for he is God's minister, for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of the good. If he kills an evildoer, he is not a mankiller, but, if I may so put it, a killer of evil. He is evidently the avenger of Christ towards evildoers and he is rightly considered a defender of Christians. Should he be killed himself, we know that he has not perished, but has come safely into port.

Once he finds himself in the thick of battle, this knight sets aside his previous gentleness, as if to say, "Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord; am I not disgusted with your enemies?" These men at once fall violently upon the foe, regarding them as so many sheep. No matter how outnumbered they are, they never regard these as fierce barbarians or as awe-inspiring hordes. Nor do they presume on their own strength, but trust in the Lord of armies to grant them the victory.

Saint Athanasius

"May God console you! ... What saddens you ... is the fact that others have occupied the churches by violence, while during this time you are on the outside. It is a fact that they have the premises – but you have the Apostolic Faith. They can occupy our churches, but they are outside the true Faith. You remain outside the places of worship, but the Faith dwells within you. Let us consider: what is more important, the place or the Faith?The true Faith, obviously. Who has lost and who has won in the struggle – the one who keeps the premises or the one who keeps the Faith? True, the premises are good when the Apostolic Faith is preached there; they are holy if everything takes place there in a holy way ..."You are the ones who are happy; you who remain within the Church by your Faith, who hold firmly to the foundations of the Faith which has come down to you from Apostolic Tradition. And if an execrable jealousy has tried to shake it on a number of occasions, it has not succeeded. They are the ones who have broken away from it in the present crisis. No one, ever, will prevail against your Faith, beloved Brothers. And we believe that God will give us our churches back some day. "Thus, the more violently they try to occupy the places of worship, the more they separate themselves from the Church. They claim that they represent the Church; but in reality, they are the ones who are expelling themselves from it and going astray. Even if Catholics faithful to Tradition are reduced to a handful, they are the ones who are the true Church of Jesus Christ."
